Descaling tablets are designed to efficiently and safely descale espresso machines with water tanks and other coffee brewing equipment. The descaling process (also know as decalcifying and de-kalking) removes hard water scale from the boiler or thermoblock and the group head or coffee brewer. Hard water scale is a white crust (it can be other colours, depending on the water condition) that forms when hard water is heated to near boiling point. Normal filtration does not remove the “hardness” in hard water. Features & Benefits: • Quick dissolution time • Rapid descaling action • Non-corrosive formulation that is safe to espresso machine and coffee brewing equipment • Accurate dosing Recommended for: All espresso machines and coffee brewers with water tanks and pour-over brewers with rapid heat thermo-blocks.

When the tablets have completely dissolved (which will take a few minutes – warm water speed the dissolution) pour the solution into the water tank. Follow the machine’s descaling instructions.

IF NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLEturn the machine’s power on and put empty containers under the brewing group and the steam wand. Operate the brewing cycle until solution comes out of the brewing group for about one minute , then stop the pump.

Open the steam valve and when solution comes out of the wand for one minute and then shut the valve. Wait five minutes and then repeat the process. Keep repeating this step until there is no flow from either the brewing group or the steam wand.

Rinse the water tank and fill with fresh water. Run the water through both the brewing group and the steam wand until the tank is empty. Refill the water tank with fresh water and the machine is ready for use.
